Question A: contrast between the altered physiological changes seen with the normal thyroid physiology

The normal thyroid physiology is indicated by certain biomarkers. In this case, the serum level of hormones free triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) indicates whether the thyroid gland is normally functional or not. According to the result of the lab test carried on the patient, a significant deviation of the serum levels of thyroid hormones from the normal level has been noted.
First, the free T4 level of the patient was found to be 5.4 picomoles per litre (pmol/L). The reference range of T4 is 9-25 picomoles per litre (Vanderpump, Tunbridge, and Bayliss, 2008). The reference values represent the Continue reading...

Hypothesis
Luther seems to want attention for himself. When he is walking down the hallways, he likes talking to other people, but his attention span to those he is talking to is easily broken as he moves around.

Therefore, it is evident that he wants them to keep on paying attention to him rather than go about their duties. Once they go for him, he takes around five minutes before he decides to Continue reading...

Blood Biochemistry

Electrolytes are present inside the body in various compartments and their concentrations are kept under strict control owing to their major role in electric potential. Movements and exchange of the ions causes alteration in the polarity of the cell and its membrane. This dynamism in polarity ultimately compels the electrical potential to reach the threshold to elicit and sustain action potentials. In a normal milieu, this process is done several times whenever signals are received from higher centers to generate an action potential. In this Continue reading...
